Are you changing jobs and don't know what you want to do? Maybe you're an "empty-nest" parent, newly divorced, or recently retired and wondering, "Now what?" Maybe you are all or none of the above, but find yourself in the midst of change. My area of interest is life transitions. I support clients from diverse backgrounds and ages as they identify new tools that support their growth through various life changes. These transitions can lead us to question our values, identities, and the meanings we make for ourselves, and can impact our sense of self throughout our lives, for children, and young-, mid-life, and older adults.
My approach is person-centered and strengths-based. I utilize evidence-based frameworks of Solution-focused Brief Therapy and Mindfulness. Empathy and collaboration are integral to my orientation while encouraging self-compassion and client-identified goals. I have training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Mindfulness, and expressive arts.
I believe people cultivate resilience through self-compassion and resource-building. Our work together will focus on exploration and strategizing. I work with young and older adults, and aim to support clients as they identify next steps that are in line with their values and goals. If this sounds like what you're looking for, I welcome hearing from you.

We will first explore what brought you to therapy. Then keeping in mind clients' developmental stage and cultural orientations, I might present SFBT, mindfulness, arts, or narrative interventions to support clients as they explore and identify next steps.
